The Nostradamus Society — Scott L. Miller

Tony faces a potential new world of riches and power beyond his imagination after his best friend Geoff helps him get elected into a secret, exclusive club from around the world called The Nostradamus Society. The owner, an elderly Russian count, holds the meetings the first weekend of each month in an opulent castle on a reclusive island, where he offers world-class entertainment, food and drink, and a curiously morbid, high stakes, game of chance. Tony and his girlfriend Miranda gradually learn the island is not the utopia that it seems and that the game exerts an extreme pull on its members. In the face of death and betrayal, Tony must use all his wits to survive the bizarre situation he's been placed in. This is Scott L. Miller's sixth novel, following a four-book suspense series (Interrogation, Counterfeit, The Virtual Suicide Machine, and Boundless) and a literary fiction work titled Prodigal.
